About This Pepper

Purple Serrano is stunning variety that starts deep purple before ripening to red. It delivers same impressive heat as standard serrano (10,000-23,000 SHU) while adding dramatic visual appeal. The purple color comes from anthocyanins, beneficial antioxidants. Plants with purple stems and foliage make excellent ornamentals. The flavor is classic serrano – crisp, bright, and immediate – with perhaps slightly more fruity notes. Perfect for gardeners who want both heat and beauty in their gardens.
